Hello,

maybe you can help me identifying an old Idéale Saddle i bought for one of my french beauties. I tried to identify it with the classicrendezvous and the Ebykr Site, but have so far failed.

Where you could usually find the number, on the side of the saddle, no number is visible - could be by use or because there never was one. Top says Rebour treated, steel rails. It has about the same measures as a Model 90, but weighs less than is usually claimed for a 90. It also has the "selction tricolore course" sticker on it.

Measures are:

long: 260 mm --> 10,2"
wide: 150mm --> 5,2"

These are the exact measures for an Ideale 90.

Weight: 560 grams --> 19,75 oz.

This seems to be about 160 grams less than an 90, but 60 more than an 88. It also misses the bigger rivets the 88 should have?

Maybe the pictures can help?

Thanks a lot for your help, it is very appreciated!
